For those of you who read my Repair vs Replace thread, the choice has been made for me. I cannot get financing anywhere for a used car, and my grandmother is not ready to sell hers. I will be going the "Repair" route.
But anyway...
I set a new record for trip average MPG according to Scangauge. 33.1MPG over a 35 mile trip mixed city and mountainous rural driving, with a slight tailwind. Outside temp was 64F, engine temp ranged from 193 to 200. Gasoline was Irving brand summer blend 87. Sure beats this winter with my partially stuck open thermostat, winter blend fuel and bitter cold temps. Not to mention the studded snow tires (gotta stick those on craigslist) Many trips of this distance, the engine would not warm past 177.
The other data points are(from top left to bottom right)
